Re: Tek 2465b two probes showing slightly different voltages and phases
Steve I in 2014 did a paper for SMPTE, Belden contributed 100m reels of cables to the project, both TP and coax of 18 different types. We ran digital audio signals with rate to 24.576 MHz and looked

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
Of course! After a few drinks and too much to eat, at 1:30 AM while being a one finger typist, with the computer accepting anything I type, viper sounds like wiper anyway! I am glad I did not type

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
I happen to have the board Layouts for 475 and 475A and after a cursory look, they appear to be almost identical. They are, as someone else noted, completely different from the 465, but they do

No but it will sound fantastic, especially when you use oxygen free Tektronix Gold Plated Probes... Harvey

Re: 514 AC Socket
I think the best compromise might be the 3 pole midget twistlock from Hubbell, as it will give me a grounded connection, and the modification will be the lest conspicuous: slightly enlarging round

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
Yes, C1374 is in a good place to explain a lot of what you're seeing. But schematics aren't board layout, and the TekWiki links for 475A don't seem to have the board layouts. So I don't know how

Re: 514 AC Socket
An IEC would definitely need an adaptor plate. The less common type with mounting holes above and below rather than out to the sides might be a better fit. The other type I've used (again this betrays

Re: 514 AC Socket
Thanks Bruce - 'General Electric' extension cords is giving some good hits. I guess these weren't grounded via their AC socket?

Re: 514 AC Socket
no ground on the ones I serviced, I changed all to 3 pin IEC ( they are/were on other non TEK equipment) as it was required for safety...IMO was not needed but ya do as ordered. above my pay grade.

Re: 514 AC Socket
Thanks! An IEC socket /almost/ fits, but would require a little bit of filing, and maybe a plate to fill in the remaining gaps. I'll take a look at the EP - I think I remember seeing them on consoles

Re: 514 AC Socket
The cable female connector was made by several manufacturers, most I have seen were General Electric. I have never seen one with a grounding contact. You can also search for an older extension cord

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
Happy New Year to all! Resolve the condition and function of R1375 before you move on. What you describe above sounds suspicious to me. After that, there are some other component to check as well.
